The book looks at women’s experiences of Fascism by examining the material world in which they lived in relation to their thoughts, feelings, and actions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOver the past decade, Diana Garvin has conducted extensive research in Italian museums, libraries, and archives. \u003ci\u003eFeeding Fascism \u003c\/i\u003eincludes illustrations of rare cookbooks, kitchen utensils, cafeteria plans, and culinary propaganda to connect women’s political beliefs with the places that they lived and worked and the objects that they owned and borrowed. Garvin draws on first-hand accounts, such as diaries, work songs, and drawings, that demonstrate how women and the Fascist state vied for control over national diet across many manifestations – cooking, feeding, and eating – to assert and negotiate their authority. Revealing the national stakes of daily choices, and the fine line between resistance and consent, \u003ci\u003eFeeding Fascism\u003c\/i\u003e attests to the power of food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40831198232673,"sku":"9781487551575","price":25.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_35392422_dcf42171-6e61-4c92-a7c5-efd8e274265e.jpg?v=1752772742","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781487551575-feeding-fascism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
